Wrestling coach molds team into cit Wrestling had a new coach and a young, fresh team in 1969. Coach Richard Cummings faced a varsity team with six sophomores on it. However, he guided them to a 6-6-0 record. Coach Cummings! secret was practice, practice and more practice. His practices were both demanding and time-consuming. He figured 409,013 hours of practice for the varsity and reserve teams by all the boys together. The reserves finished with a 7-5 record. The frosh did even better with an 8-2 season. Cummings will be losing Steve Y challenger Dotlich, 154-pounder who battled to third place in the state wrestling meet. He also set three varsity rec- ords during the season-20 take- downs, 6 predicaments and 6 falls. Other winning seniors who will be departing are john Doll, 133 pounds, and Denny Allison, 120 pounds. Next year, Cummings hopes to have a stronger dual meet team al- though he realizes he will have fewer strong individual competitors. Underclassmen who gained re- serve experience are expected to helptheteam. Senior Steve Dotlich is the team's outstand ing competitor, winning sectional and re gional titles.
